Domestic crude oil futures were trading down tracking global cues but a weak rupee against the dollar capped the fall.

new delhi, India (prHWY.com) March 12, 2013 - Bullion: Gold contracts were slightly higher on domestic exchanges tracking the gains in COMEX futures and weakness in rupee against the dollar.

But the weak rupee limited the downside in prices.

Metals: Domestic base metal futures were trading weak on the MCX tracking the trend on the London Metal Exchange. The fall in metal prices was, however, limited due to the weakness of the Indian rupee against the US dollar. On the LME, base metals drifted lower after China's weaker-than-expected industrial production and retail sales data.

Energy: Domestic crude oil futures were trading down tracking global cues but a weak rupee against the dollar capped the fall. Prices fell on the New York Mercantile Exchange after economic data out of China disappointed investors, adding that a stronger dollar further dented sentiment.
